Drake, this is an interesting situation. You have a personal foul for the push. Then the attempted undercut. The ball is still live, even after the personal foul. So was this a technical foul ("WHACK")? If there is contact, and the ball is still live, normally it should be personal. But I've never seen one player called for two personal fouls on the same play.
Was your T b/c of additional contact? Or was it b/c you thought he was being unsportsmanlike? And in general, has anyone ever called, or would anyone ever consider, calling two personals on the same player for the same play?
I'm not being critical of Drake's call. The whole situation just started a wierd train of thought. [/B][/QUOTE]Wierd?
I guess that this would be an example of the genus "falsus multipulsus foulsus", which is thought only to exist in small IAABO outposts in the wilds of the state of Ohio.There have been rumors of sightings in other locales,but these have been discounted as Urban Legends.
Seriously,this probably fits the definition of a "false multiple foul". A multiple foul stipulates that the fouls are committed by 2 or more TEAMMATES against the same opponent(R4-19-10),while a false multiple foul says that there is 2 or more fouls by the same TEAM(R4-19-11).so,you would have a personal foul,followed by an intentional or flagrant personal foul-both charged to the same player.Your next question is "how many shots?".My next answer is each foul will carry it's regular penalty,as per "summary of penalties #7.
The WIERD thing is that the rulebook says that an airborne shooter can commit a technical foul,but it doesn't mention if a technical foul can be committed on an airborne shooter(R4-19-5c). Why is that??
